The calm

Last night we lay in bed
Me, curled up like a C
His head in the nook
His hand on the baby in the belly --
Our daughter --
Reading Dr. Suess...
We fell asleep that way...
His head on my breast
His hand on my tummy
My face in his hair
Listening to the thunder and rain pounding down outside
Our little pre-family...
It was delicious.




5am, some wetness, and contractions all night -- not the timeable, breathtaking kind, but real all the same -- doctor's appointment's in 2 hours... could this be the beginning of something? Hmm.
